TURBO MODE
(Activated at time of installation)
This mode allows the engine to be left running at idle speed for a short period of time so that the turbocharger can cool
down as recommended by certain car manufacturers.
This mode activates the continuous mode at a reduced runtime (one or two minutes according to the programming).
To activate the Turbo Mode, press on the
(2 sec.) button (refer to ‘Continuous Mode’).

For your safety, engine will not start or will stop if:
Your key is in ignition (prevent Start cycle).
Remote control sends a Stop message.
Hood is open.
Brakes are applied.
Engine is over-revving (if programmed Enable at installation).
Alarm detect intrusion.
Main switch is OFF.
Safety sequence not valid (manual transmission vehicle only - parking brake not applied, opening of door detected
while remote starter was not keeping engine running).
M AIN SWITCH
The main switch is usually mounted under the dashboard. It is a toggle ON/OFF switch that is
used to cancel start functions.
It does not disable other commands, which remain active (Alarm features, Locks, etc.).
STOP
When engine is running on a remote start, you can turn it off by performing a stop command.
This command also terminates panic mode and the alarm condition without disarming the security system.
